Protect seniors from financial abuse and investment fraud

Alberta’s population is aging. By 2031, when the last of the baby boomers reach 65 years of age, it’s projected that there will be almost one million seniors in the province – which means about one in five Albertans will be a senior. Seniors also tend to have accumulated assets or retirement funds, and con artists see this as an opportunity. Unfortunately, the natural aging process can leave them vulnerable to fraudulent or unsuitable investments.
